The main landmark of the street is the Martiros Saryan House-Museum, where the famous Armenian painter’s renowned canvases, personal belongings, and studio are exhibited.
At the beginning of the street is also Saryan Park.
Within the park stands the well-known statue of Martiros Saryan, around which contemporary painters and artists still gather today to display and sell their works. The atmosphere truly resembles Montmartre, with its open-air artistic spirit.
Just as Montmartre in Paris became a center for creative minds, Saryan Street in Yerevan has evolved into a symbol of art and free creative thought.
It can truly be said that this is one of the warmest and most beautiful similarities between Paris and Yerevan.
In 2025, at the initiative of the Yerevan Municipality, the stairs leading from the street up to another neighborhood were tiled with the image of Saryan’s most famous painting, Armenia, giving a fresh new spirit to this part of the city.
Another colorful element that has shaped our beloved street for several decades is the presence of its wine bars. Wine, art — what more is needed to feel the bohemian spirit of Yerevan?
